Tylahs Gem - sneak peak of painted car last page
Poor woman , been waiting almost 2 years for me to make a start on this car for her...
Purchased from Elky, it had some front end damage from a crash. the body is exceptionally good for rust in all floorpans and bootfloor.

Re: Tylahs Gem
Is this Toms wife?
That front end looks sad. Wouldn't be easier to chop the front off and weld a new one on?

Re: Tylahs Gem
I would have thought less time consuming.
Time you could spend resto'ing the purple coupe or getting the V8 faster or more reliable

Re: Tylahs Gem
Little more work thisafternoon/evening.
Got bonnet to open and close ok , but drivers side is sitting high , so it'll have to be pulled down. Easy job , but probably not for another few days.

Re: Tylahs Gem
Bonnet and guard now line up, pulled down very well and with little effort!
Front set up to have a beating
Getting there......
Pretty much at the limit of what hammers and dollies can do , apart from 2 small sections that need more massaging.

Re: Tylahs Gem
Mpnday arvo update , and thats as far as i can go with tools on hand. Now its ready for a little welding and some filler.
And thats it... Im happy with the front panels enough to not cut it off and weld the other one on.
